Gear changes take place in milliseconds without any interruption in the flow of power. The advantage over a fully manual transmission is the considerably faster rate of acceleration for the same Doppelkupplung (PDK) not only increases the agility of the new Boxster but also enhances driving pleasure. When fitted in combination with PDK, the optional Sport Chrono Package (p. 56) gives you access to two new functions: `Launch Control' for maximum acceleration The chassis has also been totally redesigned. Its wider track and generously dimensioned wheels in a new design provide an even sportier driving experience. The optional mechanically locking rear differential (p. 54) delivers high traction and increased performance. from a standing start, and a `motorsport-derived gearshift strategy', bringing gearshift characteristics straight from the racetrack. An extraordinarily powerful midmounted engine. An extremely low centre of gravity. Very high agility and dynamic handling. The driving experience offered by a Boxster goes far beyond superficial driving pleasure. That's because it's based on a concept which made the 550 Spyder one of the most successful racing cars of its time. emissions have been reduced by up to 12 % compared with the previous model. In combination with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the result is a very low emissions value of 214 g/km and fuel consumption of 9.1 l/100 km (31 mpg). level of fuel consumption. The advantage over a fully automatic transmission is a perceptible increase in driving dynamics ­ with a similar level of comfort and a distinct reduction in fuel consumption. In short, Porsche The new Boxster S has an additional power boost, with direct Both models are powered by a new generation of engines. The Boxster's six-cylinder Boxer engine, fitted with VarioCam Plus (p. 36), now has a 2.9-litre capacity, 188 kW (255 hp) and maximum torque of 290 Nm at 4,400 to 6,000 rpm. Taking it to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds, with a top speed of 263 km/h (163 mph). Despite this increase in power, the CO2 fuel injection (DFI, p. 28) fitted as standard. This provides optimum fuel mixture formation for improved fuel efficiency and a distinct Boxster S increase in power and torque. In combination with the optional PDK, this gives a reduction in fuel consumption of 15 % and lowers CO2 emissions by 16 % compared with the previous model. The 3.4-litre six-cylinder Boxer engine in the Boxster S develops an impressive 228 kW (310 hp). Maximum torque of 360 Nm is reached between 4,400 and 5,500 rpm and acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 5.3 seconds. In summary, an engine which is responsive enough to provide power from the outset ­ and reaches its limit at 274 km/h (170 mph). In both models, a precision sixspeed manual gearbox makes optimum use of the power and torque of the new engine. New Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 42) features both manual and automatic modes and is also available as an option for the first time. The principle is as impressive as it is simple: it has seven gears, two half gearboxes and two clutches. As one gear is engaged, the next is already preselected in the other half gearbox. Boxster in Porsche Racing Green Metallic ·8· ·9· · 10 · Boxster | The Boxster concept Boxster | The Boxster concept The standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM, p. 63) has been refined and enhanced with two additional functions: precharging of the brake system and brake assist ­ for even shorter stopping distances and increased active safety. In the interior, the elegant sports styling is coupled with a high degree of practicality. All the important functions are intuitive to control, including the latest optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM, p. 83) with 6.5-inch touchscreen and CD/DVD drive with navigation module. In conjunction with the PCM, the optional BOSE® Surround Sound System now supports 5.1 surround sound. A rhetorical question: What would you do if we were to give you the key now? Air intake grilles Exterior mirror Rear light module A real roadster is like true love: you recognise it at first glance. Design. At the front, the new headlight design makes the Boxster models unmistakable ­ especially at night. Both models are fitted as standard with halogen headlights and LED daytime running lights integrated The rear has been restyled with a new LED taillight module that blends harmoniously with the overall design. The new centrally located stainless steel tailpipe ­ twin tailpipe on the Boxster S ­ and the rear diffusers finished in sporting black complete the powerful look. Also incorporated into the new design are larger exterior mirrors which have been aerodynamically optimised and give better rearward visibility. The design of the new Boxster models is governed by one philosophy above all: that the styling of a Porsche reflects its inner values. Here, the primary value is extreme performance. and design. Visually exciting with performance to match. the air intake grilles are finished in the exterior colour, whereas on the new Boxster S they are separately into the clusters above the outer air intakes. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request. The new headlight design emphasises the striking contour of the wing. In short, although we rarely stick to the rules, we have observed one: form follows function. Design and functionality are combined The emphasis on performance is immediately evident from the front, where enlarged air intakes in a new geometric arrangement contrasted in black. The powerful design is complemented by striking spoiler lips and the two models have a drag coefficient value of 0.29 and 0.30, respectively. The dynamic presence of the Boxster models is further emphasised by the new wheel design. The Boxster is fitted with 17-inch wheels as standard, the Boxster S with 18-inch wheels. A 19-inch option is available for both models. perfectly in the new Boxster models.
